1992, Sweden

Winner: Denmark | Runner-up: Germany

The tournament in Sweden was heavily influenced by politics, with Yugoslavia suspended shortly before the finals due to the problems in that country, the crumbling Soviet Union entering under the banner of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and a combined Germany team taking part for the first time.

Yugoslavia's replacements, Denmark, took full advantage of their late call-up, hurriedly putting together a team who clinched second place in their group behind Sweden.

In the semi-finals, the Danes edged past The Netherlands on penalties after a 2-2 draw, setting up a final against Germany, who beat the host nation in their semi-final 3-2.

The final turned out to be a fairy-tale success for the Danes, who overcame some notable absentees to clinch a 2-0 upset win. Midfielder John Jensen chose the perfect moment to score his second goal in his 48th international, a superb 25-metre shot after 18 minutes, and Kim Vilfort got the second 12 minutes from time.

Top goal scorers:

Bergkamp (Holland) -- 3

Larsen (Denmark) -- 3
